Apple Guidelines is an agent skill from bpinheiroms/dotfiles. Complete Apple App Store Review Guidelines. Invoke when creating features, screens, or functionality for iOS apps to ensure compliance and avoid rejection.

It sits in Mobile, covering App store release and iOS development. It works with iOS.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve App store release
  • Tasks that involve iOS development

Example prompts

  • “/apple-guidelines”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Safety
  2. Performance
  3. Business
  4. Design
  5. Legal

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5f967cb. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Apple Guidelines loads about 14k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 8,137 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~43
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~14k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 8,137 words (~13,620 tokens).

“When implementing or reviewing any feature for an iOS/iPadOS app, consider ALL the rules below. Proactively identify which guidelines apply to the code/feature in question and alert about possible violations before they cause rejection.”
